Well your started in the right direction. You identified the size of load that you will be hauling. Now you need to figure out what size trailer is required to safely handle the load, which will dictate what size truck you need. As RustyFarmall has said, your most likely looking at a 20,000 lb trailer for your 14,000lb cargo. You have to remember that the weight of the trailer needs to be subtracted from the trailers GVW to give you the trailers capacity. A 20,000 lb trailer will weight anywheres from say 4500 lbs up to say 6000lbs or more depending on its construction. A trailer of this size will require at the minimum a 1 ton pickup to tow it. I would recommend a dually pickup with a trailer of this size as the dually is better equiped to handle this size trailer. Ie: larger brakes, heavier suspension, more rubber in contact with the road.
